About This Bike
Simply put, the Gazelle Ultimate C8 is not an ordinary or casual bike. It is an all-rounder electric bike in the premium luxury category made by the Dutch royal brand Gazelle. For those in the European market who are looking for a royal e-bike that can be used to go to the office at a lightning speed without any fatigue 5 days a week, and on holidays, wear a suit and boots or expensive clothes to ride around the jam-packed city—this is the perfect thing for them. Its real magic lies in its frame and belt drive system. Its body is finished so perfectly that no wires or batteries are visible from the outside. And the most important thing is that the traditional iron chain has been replaced with the famous American 'Gates Carbon Belt Drive'. Due to which this bike runs completely silently and there is no problem of oiling and lubricating the chain.
The best combination of safety and design
This luxury bicycle is a master in terms of design and safety. Its battery is completely locked inside the down-tube of the frame, which looks as regal as an expensive sports car. The biggest advantage is that its handlebar and premium leather grips can be adjusted to your preferred angle with just your hands. Due to which you can ride in a royal style without hunching over in traffic jams. And the brake lever is even stronger. With Shimano's large hydraulic disc brakes, the wheel can be jammed on the spot with a little pressure while at high speed. Since the double-wall rims of the wheels are quite strong, they do not slip due to small potholes and speed breakers. With Schwalbe special e-bike tires, it can be driven at lightning speed on paved roads, as well as maintaining excellent grip on wet or slippery roads, without any fear of slipping.

Why This model is best for you
For those who commute to work in big cities in Europe but don't want to get black chain oil and ink on their clothes, there is nothing better and more durable than this. With this one bicycle, you can enjoy luxurious travel, long touring and zero maintenance at a low cost. The biggest advantage is its 8-speed Shimano Nexus internal gear hub at the rear and Bosch's upgraded smart motor. Since it has a mono-integrated suspension in the front, it absorbs all the small bumps on the road like a sponge. Moreover, thanks to the new Bosch smart system, you can set the power of the bicycle as you like using the mobile 'eBike Flow' app and use a digital anti-theft lock. In a word—comfort, straightforwardness, and a luxury that pays off!
Brakes and wheel control
The Ultimate C8 has a brand new Bosch Purion 200 color display, which is set on one side of the handlebar. While riding, you can clearly see how fast you are going or how far you can go on the battery with a single press of your thumb. Its wheels are large at 28 inches and there is no plastic shell or chain guard on the chain—because there is no chance of rust or damage to the belt drive. And Shimano's hydraulic brake levers provide a strong brake response with a slight fingertip gesture.
